The eggs of the St. Croix Yellow Warbler are of the same 
general character as those of D. estiva, but differ in the colour of 
the markings, which are either of a deep chocolate-brown and 
purplish-grey, or of a pale lilac-red and lavender. ‘They measure 
from *7 to ‘74 in length, and from *53 to ‘54 in breadth.

Four eggs of the Magnolia Warbler are of a blunt oval form, 
slightly pointed towards one end and devoid of gloss. The ground- 
colour is white in all four specimens: in one the markings, which 
are almost entirely confined to the larger end, are much bolder and 
consist of blotches of rich chocolate-brown and lavender; in the 
other three the markings of light purplish-red and lavender are 
mostly much smaller, and, though most numerous round the larger 
end, are scattered over the whole shell. They measure from °59 to 
-61 in length, and from -47 to ‘48 in breadth.
